For years now, Singapore has been seeing territorial disputes between local otter gangs. Clashes often result in serious injuries or even deaths for those involved.

These events regularly make the local news and sometimes go international (here, here, here). Wikipedia has a detailed writeup on the largest family — Bishan.

Bishan is also the most aggressive bunch. They control the most territory and haven't lost a single fight! A lot of that is thanks to their numbers. Close behind them is the Marina family. They adapt really well to new environments, but keep getting beaten down by Bishan, losing territory and having to move to worse neighborhoods.

The local police? Totally hands-off... but honestly, they don't need to do anything. Because these territorial disputes are happening between smooth-coated otters :)

If you're thinking it'd be cool to see a Netflix series about them, well, at least there's an episode about Singapore's otters in Night on Earth. Plus Google even gave them some love with a Doodle.

Video credit here. There's actually a whole community of otter watchers on Facebook. They share maps and honestly, they're awesome.

PS I wonder if an otter from the Bishan family could fall for a Marina girl? :)
